The destination
The watermill was first shut down in 1991. Today, it opens its doors for guided tours by appointment. Designated a technical monument, visitors can gain an insight into the technology of the mill, whose old machines are still fully preserved and operational.
The foundation stone of the mill was laid back in 1655, while the watermill itself dates back to 1893. Several times a year, events are held during which the mill is put into operation.

The trail
The Wittekindsroute and the Naturtour 3 through Löhne lead directly past the mill museum. The northern section of the Soleweg and the Tagestour 2 "Aqua Magica und Eggeberg" also run not far from the mill. After a short detour of 400 m, you will already reach the building on the Mittelbach stream.
If you want to get to the mill by bike as directly as possible from the nearest train station, get off at the station in Bad Oeynhausen. From here, you can follow the signs for the Soleweg. The path takes you through the center of Bad Oeynhausen, along the spa gardens and across the grounds of the Aqua Magica until you reach the Kemena mill after 3.7 km. You can also download the adjacent GPS track or the overview map.
